European Arrest Warrant (Application to Third Countries and Amendment) and Extradition (Amendment) Bill 2011

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would allow Ireland to use European arrest warrant procedures with non-EU countries where the EU has a surrender agreement with that country. It would also update surrender deadlines, appeals, court procedures and rules for people convicted without attending their trial, while clarifying when extradition can be refused. For extradition cases generally, it would modernise communications and evidence rules, let Gardaí take photographs and fingerprints to confirm identity, and allow reasonable force in limited, supervised circumstances.
